Conwell Middle Magnet School

Conwell Middle Magnet School was one of twenty-three Philadelphia schools selected to participate in the "Public Science Day" program. Dr. Marvin Young, Conwell's liaison to the program, said, "Conwell received funds for instructional purposes totaling $1300.00. Recently, five sets of different science reference books were purchased using this sizable grant."

The books have been placed in our Instructional Media Center (I.M.C.) in a bookcase especially made to house them. Dr. George Roesser, Conwell's principal, provided school funds to construct and finish the new bookcase. The program's liaison was also the carpenter!

It is expected that full use of these high-quality reference books will begin in the fall of the coming school year. Students who have had a chance to preview the new books are delighted with the presentation of various aspects of science. The books are well-illustrated and written at an appropriate level for our fifth to eighth grade students.
